You are 100 percent @Tim
I definitely don’t blindly follow these guys and yes a lot of “pumpers” only share the potential benefits and don’t mention side effects.
I tried PT-141 and got a flush almost similar to niacin.
I always researching studies and utilizing pubmed etc.

Punchline is to be diligent in research.
I have been researching peptdies for 5 years and only did my first injection a little over a year ago. Took four years of DD and fear to proceed.

Take Rapamycin for example. I have been researching it for about 3 years. I havent even started it yet. I have my dog on it for the past few months. I plan on finally popping a Rapamycin pill sometime over the next 30-90 days.

Hi Tim,
What you say resonates with me. I have tried peptides, Rapa, bioregulators and i have seen nothing but side effects from these.
Rapa at very low dose gives me diarrhea.
BPC 157 and the CNS bioregulator caused me depressive symptoms/ anhedonia
cjc and ipamorelin sweating and fatige.
Some argue/speculate that the side effects are the byproducts of the healing process. For me the side effects were alarming enough to stop them before seeing any benefits. I personally think that i might be too sensitive and have a low tolerance for these powerful molecules.

Yes, I have the same question. Do you guys pause your Rapa intake while you cycle through peptide treatment?

I’m going to do a 20 day treatment with Cerebrolysin and wonder if I should stop taking Rapamycin?

I tried Visoluten caps and Visomitin 5ml drops a couple of months ago and was very impressed. I ordered them from rupharma.com and paid by bank transfer rather than the crypto the site asks for. The caps and drops last a month and it’s suggested to repeat on a six monthly basis. I’ve already ordered a second supply ready. They are fairly pricey but seem to make a difference particularly with sharpness of objects in vision and lessening floaters. I’ve used carnosine eye drops on and off for years with great success - with my dogs too (cataracts ‘disappeared in ‘weeks’).
I’m 70 y/o and don’t need glasses at all - after lasik 25 years ago which resulted in mono-vision. One eye for distance and the other for reading etc. I’d recommend monovision to anyone.

Did the carnosine eye drops have any effects on eye floaters?

#148

Difficult to say. I started getting floaters 8 years ago (62 y/o) and started on the carnosine eyedrops then since I’d seen great results in my dogs eyes. Also started/continued with the usual eye health supplements, zeaxanthin, lutein etc. The floaters would come and go so possibly just my eyes adapting to them. I’m convinced that the carnosine drops have helped maintain my vision over the years though. (I use 4% rather than 2%).
The peptide certainly seems to have helped more though re floaters and I’ve now stopped the carnosine for the moment as it makes my eyes feel uncomfortable with the stinging - but only since using the Visoluten. At the moment my eyes are great!

Can you post where you buy both for reference?

Any links?

#150

Sure!

I’ve used them for years - excellent service and a little cheaper direct rather than via Amazon

and Visoluten from here - great service

For eye health I have read anecdotal reports that TB 500 eye drops are effective. Since it is well studied and easily obtainable peptide, it might we worth a try

I just saw my retina doc, who says that my macula is stable. This followed a month-long course of Visoluten. My vision, however, has been stable for the last year and a half, so I can’t say that Visoluten helped. I feel, though, that it helped and will take another course in a few months.

I’ve been taking BPC-157/TB-500 for a while. Together with PT, the combination has relieved the pain and inflammation from a labral tear and a herniated disk. Great stuff.

I just started taking SS-31, which targets the mitochondria and has multiple benefits, including the rejuvenation of aged skeletal muscle, improved cell structure and function, and resistance to fatigue. Some sites say that SS-31 needs to be taken in ultra-high doses, such as 40-50 mg per day. Fortunately, others say that good results can be achieved at a tenth of that.

I may be excommunicated as a heretic for saying this on a rapa site, but peptides do in the here and now what rapa may or may not do in the indeterminate future.

I think peptides have a lot of potential and tend to have immediate results. Unfortunately, there’s not as much data available as I would like.

KSB,

I tried posting a 280-page peptide handbook as a PDF. It’s very informative for both professionals and amateurs. Unfortunately, the link gives direct access to the inner workings of my computer. I’ll try to convert it into another format.

Thanks for trying @Tim
If you figure it out please feel free to share. I will keep sharing in this post as well. Keep it alive as I know combining Peptides with the likes of Rapamycin and Acarbose and Taurine and … etc is the magic combo.

Appreciate the feedback
Cheers.

I’ve read about the age-dependent effects of anti-aging peptides. Which only makes sense. If it isn’t broken yet, it can’t be fixed.

Hi, thank you for that information on TB500 , I have just completed a course of BPC for a torn ligament , I’d like to try the TB500 now. Is Independent Purity a source for buying?
